Error al instalar vmware

[xve <xve@zonaweb.info>]

Hola a todos...

Estoy intentando reinstalar vmware-workstation 5.5.1 en debian unstable con el 
kernel 2.6.15.4, y me da el siguiente error:
------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------

Creo que el problema es del compilador gcc (4.1) , ya que anteriormente me 
funcionava el vmware con esta misma version del kernel, lo que pasa que tuve 
que recompilar nuevamente el kernel y se compilo con la version 4.1 del gcc.

Agradeceria si alguien puede indicarme como solucionarlo en vez de volver a 
compilar el kernel con una version anterior del gcc...

Saludos y gracias por anticipado
